The book Dog Song by: Gary Paulsen is a great survival book. its about a young man named Russell who goes out into the wilderness to find his song. but in the middle of his adventures he is stopped by many obstacles. such as being trapped on ice flows or rescuing people. even killing polar bears. This is an exciting thriller that can be boring and than strait up exciting! Some things i liked about this book where how it could change. sometimes it will be so boring you'd rather die than the next moment your on the tip of your seat. Some other things were the events. like when he gets trapped or rescues someone or just cool stuff happening around him. Also I liked the surroundings they described . I Love the Arctic so it made me happy and excited. Like when a storm is coming or just pure cold air that they describe. Allot of other things they added like the dogs. I love dogs there one my favorite animals so if you do to read it. They include the dogs as one of the main characters in the book. I also liked how they described survival tactics and how they live. They talked about there diet allot and there clothing and also a bunch of how to hunt stuff. A whole chapter was about hunting and eating. Some things I thought they could have done better on was lots of stuff. S me at least 5 chapters were about his dreams he had. Which was most boring thing ever. talking about songs an all that. Like one was about a mammoth guy or something really weird. Just blabbing on about really weird stuff.
